Meet the Re-Nest Team: Therese Maring

Blogger: Therese MaringStarted at Re-Nest: March 2010Lives: near Madison, Wisconsin

As one of our three Green Tour contributors, Therese photographs a variety of eco-friendly abodes—from farmhouses to modern lakeside homes—mostly in the Madison area. Her tours always convey a sense that real people live in these homes, and they have real ideas that we can be inspired by.

Where you go for inspiration/info/help? I'm inspired by the people who welcome me into their amazing homes for Green Tours. Some of the websites I like are Poppytalk Handmade, Vintage Roadside, and PreservationNation.org.

DIY or buy? I think of myself as an Idea Person who is, luckily, married to a Craftsman Person. ("Honey, could you build/make/design one of these?")

Favorite CFL or LED lightbulb brand? I haven't committed to a favorite yet.
